I seem to vaguely remember the cause for and explination of the pertubation of Uranus from high school. Is anyone up to speed on this and able to give me a refresher?

    At the time Uranus' orbit had "anomolies", Neptune hadn't been discovered. By examining the orbit, John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier independently predicted where it would be found. Heinrich d'Arrest, at the Berlin Obersvatory found it on September 23rd, 1846.
